"Matthijs de Ligt has suffered a capsular injury in his left knee during the training camp in Faro, Portugal," read a statement on Bayern's official website.

"The diagnosis was confirmed by FC Bayern’s medical department following an MRI scan there. The defender will therefore not be able to train for now."
